I was amazed and tears filled my eyes many times as he told of receiving his call into the ministry. I love hearing how God reaches for those He calls. When Bro. Huntley was speaking he said this quote: "I may deserve my enemies, but I don't deserve my friends." It was a very thought provoking quote. I really do not deserve the friends I have, but I'm so thankful I have them!Is it just me, or does anyone else feel what I'm feeling in our organization? For some time now I have been feeling a love for one another like I haven't seen or felt in a long time. I am not going to "put down" what we've always been a part of, because I don't have anything negative I want to say. But,to me it seems most everyone is "reaching out to others" and "embracing" the fact that "friends are special"! Not just the ones we've always been friends with, but those in the "ministry". Preacher's and Preacher's wives....we have so much to be thankful for! Hold on to your friends, but let's reach out to the ones we don't know very well. Maybe you see them at a sectional meeting or sometime at a district function. Maybe you see them in a mall or another place of business. Reach out! They might need an extra touch that very day! It can be a real lonely world at times, and we really do need each other!!!
Have a blessed day!

Brother Huntley is so real. I love to hear about his time as a bus kid and his call to the ministry.
Amen and Amen. Headed out the door to a Sectional Youth Rally in Section 2 right now. :) Glad I read this post before going. I love my friends and I am so enjoying making new ones. Love you, my sister, my friend. :)
I was glad I got to see you, my friend, and other friends, too. Yall should have gone to Starbucks with us, too! Love you!!!
We would not have been able to go because we are in St. Paul preaching at ABI but I wish we were notified. Ron was in the first class and we have not got anything lately on Alumni news.
This was a great post, Sis. Elms and so true! I remember the good ole days at TBC and all the friends I made. See you soon.
Yes, I think the same thing. It seems as though there is a renewed sense of loyalty and appreciation for our brother and sisters. What a wonderful thing to have such friends!
I was at TBC for 6.5 years & they never let me in the freshman class!! :). Of course I was too young while Dad was President!! :). Wayne Huntley does have a great testimony.
